- I haven't picked up my camera in over a month. The last photo I took is dated December 23rd.
- I didn't sit down to write any goals until the 11th.
- I just finished a yearly budget.
- I've been researching educational courses, and I'm still not done with that.

Sometimes life looks like a lot of slow starts.

January hasn't felt like that epic jump into the new year. I've been floundering, thinking a lot. Mostly, I'm trying to tighten the corners I've left unattended. Things I keep putting off for various reasons. I think that's what this year is going to teach me. That some things can wait. Some things don't have to be done everyday. Some things don't have to be done at all.

Priorities, right? I have the hardest time setting them

I created a section in my journal titled "things I am not going to focus on this year", and the hope is that this list will help me clarify things I want to focus on right now, and things that can wait a little while longer.

Does it sound like I don't know what I'm doing yet?



I've never been able to get behind the idea that January 1st comes with a magical epiphany "I can do anything. I will never lack motivation or drive again!!!" What I do know is: 2020 is going to bring a lot of changes. They will be good changes. I will do things. I will get a little (hopefully a lot) further in life. I also know that time passes both slowly and rapidly and the best I can do is to make the most of every moment.

Tomorrow will take care of itself.

cheers.
